The government Airbus has departed from the Tripoli International Airport and is expected to land in Sofia within an hour.
The flight has been delayed over a suspicious package.
Earlier Wednesday, Bulgarian Foreign Minister, Nikolay Mladenov, informed the plane was on standby to make sure all Bulgarians who wish to evacuate from tumultuous Libya have arrived at the airport.
There is only one Bulgarian, a woman, on board. The others passenger include 70 people from Croatia, 2 from South Korea and 10 from China. The respective Consular Offices have been informed and will make arrangements for further transportation from Sofia.
There are, however, many Bulgarians stranded inside the country. They need at least 3 days to reach Tripoli while Foreign Minister, Nikolay Mladenov, advises to not take long trips over the unstable situation and escalating tensions.
Mladenov says the Foreign Ministry has established contact with all Bulgarian communities in Libya. Those in the town of Al Bayda are sheltered, along with other foreigners, in the local mosque to protect them from looters.
The first rescued group of 110 Bulgarians and 6 Romanians landed in Sofia early Wednesday morning.
